“These tender hearts can be trained to grow straight and strong. They are the pillars on which the foundation of the world's future is built. It is highly important to take care of the health of children. Good health is the basis for everything else in life. Through good health and good education, you can improve the condition of the children. We have to inspire them to become 'heroes of action', whose lives are dedicated to work as worship to the one God who resides in all. So, I wish to declare that the first duty of every adult, son and daughter, is to pay loving attention to

the children.” - Sathya Sai Baba (13/05/1979)
